Hi,

you mixed ControlId's with variables.

See helpfile GUICtrlCreateInput:

Success: Returns the identifier (controlID) of the new control into your variables, e.g. $Driveletter.

Try:

DriveMapAdd (GUICtrlRead ($Driveletter),"\\" & GUICtrlRead ($Computername) & "\backup", 0, GUICtrlRead ($UserID), GUICtrlRead ($Password))

;-))
